    B. $84,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the income tax expense is shown below:

    Income before income tax $300,000

    Less: Permanent difference - $20,000

    Taxable income $280,000

    Tax rate is 30%

    Income tax expense $84,000 ($280,000 * 30%)

    The $50,000 do not impact the overall income tax expense but it decrease the amount of income tax payable
